webesemps said:Billy, Sometimes what I do when I buy a new semp plant is to place it where I think it will do OK so that it gets used to the conditions of your space. If it doesn't seem to like it then I move it to another space to see if it stays OK there. A plant can suffer when it undergoes new changes in growing conditions (new pot, more sun, less sun, different soil, etc. That's why I don't repot immediately when I bring it home.
When after a week or so, the plant still looks OK, I will then take it out of the pot and look to see how much of a root system it has. If it doesn't have much roots, you can repot but water the plant by using a spray bottle to mist the plant. You can start watering when the plant gets established in its new pot.
